Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Scrubs, Ratings,
There’s a few things that can safely be said when it comes to ratings. One: Anything you place against American Idol - especially if it’s a repeat (and there were a lot of those last night) - will lose. Two: Anything you place after the FOX hit will garner a lot of interest. (Case in point: Human Target.)
